Dumb question... how do I measure the height of a radiator?

How do I measure my radiator to find the EDR from here https://archive.org/stream/idealfitterradia00amerrich#page/98/mode/2up
Do I measure from the floor to the top, thus including the feet? Or do I measure from the bottom of a footless section to the top? Depending how I measure I get 23" or 26", both of which are valid heights for this model, and these radiators came with and without feet.

Oh, and the other ones in my house could be 36" or 38", depending how you measure, both of which are also valid heights.0

On a Rococo as shown in the attachment, include the feet in the height. If a radiator of this type doesn't have feet, measure it as if it did.All Steamed Up, Inc.
